Hello everyone

but with webpack does not

i know what youtube-dl require the child_process,fs,net
and youtube-dl not supporting browser environment
but even if i pass the in package.json

"browser": {
"net": false,
"fs": false,
"child_process":false

},

it otherwise ask about Cannot resolve module
so it dosent reslove my issue

webpack working with modules fs, child_process, net, ?

  1. You can set target: 'node' in your webpack.config file (docs). This should get rid of the node API errors and leave the require calls inside your bundle.

    It might be better to just leave the dependencies out of your bundle like you mentioned, since you might run into other problems like dynamic requires. There’s a plugin that does this.
